Recap: Second Meetup - 2012-03-22
---------------------------------

First of all: Thank you all for coming, thanks to the two Matthiases for
preparing and giving a talk and thanks to LAUNCH/CO for having us.

The slides of Matthias Guenther's talk "Lessons learned with Vimscript" may be
found at Speakerdeck. Matthias Viehweger's talk was more ad-hoc a.k.a. lightning
talk style, and he did not use slides. So if you are interested in his
introduction to rails.vim and the Vim dbext plugin you need to ask him in
person.

We've again had lots of interesting discussions about folding, navigation and
other Vim best practices. In this context Matthias Guenther mentioned his
tocdown plugin, Drew Neil mentioned his syntax highlighting for Markdown, the
vimoutliner and gave a quick explanation why he favours the default netrw file
browser over plugins like NERDtree.

Also Drew announced his two Berlin Vimcast Workshop on April 20th ([1], [2]) at
the LAUNCH/CO coworking space. Have a look at his introductory vimcast to get an
idea of what to expect.


We will meet again on May 24th, 8 p.m. at the LAUNCH/CO coworking space. We
would be glad, if you send talk proposals the mailing list.


I encourage you to send pull request to the vimberlin GitHub repository and
add anything, that I might have missed.

Again, thanks for coming and making vimberlin happen. I've had great fun and
learned a lot. I hope to see you all in May.

Recap: First Meetup - 2012-01-26
--------------------------------

Thank you all for coming. It was a great evening and I had a lot of fun. I'm
especially proud, that so many of you guys showed up. I think we were about 20
people. I think, that's pretty impressive for a first meeting.

I would like to thank Drew for his thoughts on plugins and how they fit into the
Vim universe. Also, playing some vimgolf was both entertaining and illuminating.

Afterwards we were talking about our favourite plugins. I hope, we can still
collect a list of all of them here for future reference. See the article above
for more detail.

Finally we talked about vimberlin itself. We've settled to meet on the 4th
Thursday of every odd month. So the next meetup will be on


    March 22nd 2012 - 8 p.m. again at LAUNCH/CO


We are starting to using a mailing list to discuss talk proposals and other
stuff. (There is a link at the top of the page.) I've also added a link to an
iCal feed containing the schedule for the next meetups.

I'll continue to use the Twitter account vimberlin for announcements and
things of (potentially) general interest.


Thanks Jan and LAUNCH/CO for hosting the event and providing us with chairs,
beers and beamer and thank you all for making vimberlin happen.
